The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

You play as an AI alone inside a vast cosmic machine, methodically exploring strange tech-filled locations to reboot a failed universe.

What players say

Players compare it favorably to Portal and other first-person puzzle games. The wiring mechanic connecting power sources to receivers stands out, and reviewers note the game gradually introduces gravity changes and lasers. The campaign takes about 15 hours and puzzles get challenging, though some find it uneven.
